Aquatic habitat response to small dam removal demonstrates recovery in three years by Jeremy Dietrich, Alison Rickard, Suresh A. Sethi, Scott Cuppett, Patrick Sullivan

“…Instream sediment composition and mean particle size were highly disparate between upstream impoundment and downstream tail‐reach areas prior to the dam removal but became more uniform and of higher habitat quality across the study site within two years after removal. Functional diversity, taxonomic diversity, and taxa richness of the macroinvertebrate community improved dramatically in upstream habitats within one year of the dam removal, and differences between the upstream and downstream reaches disappeared by the third year after removal, suggesting rapid recovery of stream conditions in the previously dammed upstream reach. …”
